1959 Plymouth Suburban Info NEEDED??????

Hi guys

Can someone please let me know the production numbers on the 59 Plymouth Suburban wagons, both two door and four door and also what options they had, like engines, transmissions, power options, etc? Are they rare or collectable if so what are they worth?

Thanks

59 wagon production is as follows:

Deluxe wagon 2dr : 15,074.

Custom wagon 2dr, 6P : 1,852.

Deluxe wagon 4dr. : 35,086.

Custom wagon 4dr 6P : 35,024.

Custom wagon 4dr 9P : 16,993.

Sport wagon 4dr 6P : 7,224.

Sport wagon 4dr 9P : 9,549.

Engines: L6, 230.2 cu.inches.

V8, 318.0 cu.inches.

V8, 361.0 cu.inches.

Rare? oh yeah. Collectible? Wagons are in again! They are costly to restore, so get a good one. Valuable? Not when compared to a convertible. Resale is not the factor in restoring one. If you want to make a profit, get a convertible. Want to make people smile when you pull up at a tailgate party, buy the wagon!

Thanks for the reply, I am looking at a 1959 Suburban 2 door with stick shift and a six cylinder engine. Now whats the difference between the deluxe and the custom? Also this car is an all original in #5 condition complete with 51,000 original miles, would it be worth $5,000?

Thanks

Hi Steve!

In wagon lingo, the "Deluxe" was the base model using the Savoy trim. The "Custom" was a mid-level model and used Belvedere trim. The fanciest wagons were the "Sport" Suburbans. They had Fury trim.

When you say it is in #5 condition, what is your guide? 1-10 and 1 being perfect? I think Old Car Buyers Guide lists conditions of 1 thru 5. 1 being perfect and 5 being a parts car. For $5000 I would hope it is in really nice original shape.
